3 Bean and Ham Soup - Gluten-Free

It's been a while since I've made a soup THIS delicious. No, seriously. My husband is very honest. He tells it like it is....even when I don't want to hear it. He said, and I quote, "Usually your soups are just, well....they just taste 'blah.' (Gee, thanks honey! LOL) This time, however, I heard "wow, this is good!" at least 6-7 times. It was so good there are absolutely no leftovers after the second night! Not a drop. I'm pretty sure he licked his bowl clean as well...just sayin'!

How did I make this delicious magic happen? It complicated, really.....no, not really. Honestly, I grabbed some beans from my cupboard, took a ham bone from Christmas out of my freezer and added in some veggies from my fridge. The rest, well, it magically just all came together PERFECTLY! I would give this soup a 10/10.

Am I suggesting you make this instantly? Why, yes. I certainly am. You can drool over the pic first, but then off....off you go! Go make this! ;)

1/3 cup dry black beans

1/3 cup dry black-eyed peas

1/3 cup dry pinto beans

1/2 cup chopped celery

2 Tbsp. minced garlic

The night before you want to make this, place your beans (sorted of course) in a pot and cover them with water by a few inches. Let them soak overnight. In the morning, drain and rinse them.
